Everything it says is shit

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

At one of my old jobs, someone who was a manager at another business called and assumed I was a manager as well. He asked for a reference on an employee who had recently quit. The guy who left hadn’t been very good at the job, but he was a good person, clearly trying something different in a new field. I gave him a good “reference”, and the other manager sounded happy.

I wonder how it went for my old coworker…

Stone memorials - like the Lincoln, Jefferson, Vietnam, or WWII memorials in Washington D.C.

Some people just like debating. It’s incredibly refreshing when someone you completely disagree with raises a thoughtful, interesting point.

I’d feel like such an asshole driving one of these things. If someone gave me one for free, I wouldn’t even want to park it in front of my house.

There would be a lot less wars, and the wars that did happen would be blamed on someone else.

This bothers me on a fundamental level, and I never want to see it again, which probably means the image is doing its job… so, uh… well done?

I’m not even a Sailor Moon fan and I like this pic

The only thing funnier than this image is the fact that it has upset people enough to downvote it

People who throw the word “tankie” around indiscriminately aren’t using it right. From what I’ve seen, it applies specifically to extreme communist fanboys who are apologists for communist militarism. For example, Tankies will say that the Tiananmen Square massacre was either justified or didn’t happen.

Just being a fan of communism doesn’t make someone a tankie.

Edit: see below for an excellent example

I’m a fan of Lucero. The lead singer definitely has a Southern accent, but I haven’t noticed any questionable lyrics or glorification of ignorant redneck bullshit. No “codes” or dogwhistles. Maybe you should check them out.

Those ninja kitties are much, much cuter than they have any right to be.

AI will be allowed to end humanity if it profits the capitalists who control it. Capitalists are choosing profit over humanity right now.

Rattlesnake. Not bad, but totally unremarkable - tasted like chicken. Still, I’d recommend it, because the best thing about it is getting to say you’ve eaten rattlesnake.

100% agree. I was at a festival, saw a stand selling “ostrich steak” sandwiches, which I’d never heard of before. I figured I’d try it. The meat, which was served on a hoagie roll, looked and tasted like London broil. Good stuff! I’m surprised it’s not more common!

It becomes my problem when people have to stand in line too long, and I have to help someone who would have been relaxed but is now in a lousy mood. As you can probably guess, dealing with an agitated customer is more difficult (and more draining) than dealing with a neutral one.

I’m not just pulling this out of my ass. I’ve been on when the Internet failed, we couldn’t take credit cards, and “CashAwarenessMonth” actually happened. Trust me, we were all very aware of what a clusterfuck it was.

The amount of cash put in the till is determined by corporate, and monitored as if lives depended on it. My manager (who is actually a decent guy) does not have the authority to change that number, and will likely get fired if he does.

Plus, carefully counting out change instead of just watching someone swipe a card isn’t much of a “break”.

This is a terrible idea. If you can’t make the point without shitting on the little guy, maybe the point shouldn’t be made. This “ideology at any cost” bullshit is what conservatives do. Progressives actually give a damn about people, remember?

Many cashiers would hate this idea. It would slow things down considerably. We’d run out of change all the time. Already I run into problems with people paying for an $8 purchase with a fucking hundred.

That’s a big NO to #CashAwarenessMonth from me.

I actually got called a “honkey” once. Any other time, I would have laughed my ass off, but this was in the middle of an argument with a coworker. In the moment, it bugged me… but I laughed later. In fact, I’m smiling about it now.

This is great advice for anyone looking to buy used and not new. Don’t buy someone else’s problems from Craigslist. If you can, buy something from a reputable source that includes a warranty.
